Hi, this is a Nacional-G  700  from 1939

[grobmotorix]

Is there any relation to Skoda?

I´ve never heard of it before - are there any more details?

Thank you.

Another hit for Paul Jaray. (I had it without the "700").
Logically Spanish, and I don't know if there is any relation wiith Skoda, and doubt it.

NACIONAL-G      (E)      1939-1940
Natalio Horcajo (Tecnico Industrial), Zaragoza

Built by Natalio Horcajo and Martin Gomez, this was a light car powered by a 700cc 2-cylinder 2-stroke engine, with a 3-speed gearbox, tubular backbone frame, and independent suspension all round. A 2-door saloon body was fitted, and a military version was also made.There were plans to make 5,000 per year, but these were stopped at the instigation of the German government, whose overall plan for Europe did not envisage an industrialized Spain. only four prototypes were made of this interesting car, wich might have become the first mass-produced people's car of Spain.     G.N.G.
